President Joe Biden vowed retaliation after three American service members were killed by an Iranian-backed drone strike in Jordan on Sunday. 

The estate of the late stand-up comedy legend George Carlin is currently suing a media company that created an hour-long comedy special using artificial intelligence (AI) to imitate the comedian's style and content.

Planned Parenthood has gone FULL groomer now. Last week Planned Parenthood tweeted out a video about virginity. The minute long infomercial talked about the different types of sex and promoted the idea that “sex” is basically whatever you want it to be.  The video featured one groomer from the group who stood in what looked like a set of a sex ed classroom. “Sex Ed 101” was in colorful letters across the top of the classroom scene. There was also a female and male reproductive system diagram‚ a poster that talked about consent‚ and a skeleton with a t-shirt that read‚ “sex ed is power.” Virginity! What is it? What it isn't. And what’s the big deal about "losing" it? Let’s talk about it: https://t.co/pOQllDfAHo pic.twitter.com/yANUxTaF8s — Planned Parenthood (@PPFA) January 25‚ 2024 The room looked very colorful and enticing for young viewers‚ obviously. The speaker very passionately began talking: Sex means different things to different people. Generally speaking‚ society tends to define sex in a very narrow way: penetration — penis into vagina. But where does that definition leave queer people? Or folks who can’t‚ or don’t‚ have penis-in-vagina sex‚ and choose to have oral‚ anal‚ or another type of sex instead? Lips‚ a peach and water droplet emojis popped up on the screen when the woman talked about oral‚ anal and “other” types of sex. Again‚ cartoon drawings / emojis are very easy ways to catch or maintain a young person’s attention.  The speaker then went on to “define” sex and said that it’s only defined by one thing‚ “you.” “Maybe that’s being fingered for the first time. Maybe it’s having anal sex. Maybe it’s having your first orgasm. Maybe it’s masturbating for the first time‚ or when you enthusiastically consent to sex‚” the woman said energetically. Towards the end of the painfully long 56 second video‚ the woman talked about the “beauty” of one’s “sexual journey.” “You’re in charge‚ and you can figure it out on your own terms. Choosing to have sex — when‚ what kind‚ where‚ and who with —  is something that only you get to define‚” she said. At the moment‚ the video has close to three million views and has over two thousand comments‚ most of which bashing the grooming motives of Planned Parenthood. “Planned Parenthood is going full groomer now‚” comedian Tim Young wrote. “She’s talking to kids…. Everyone gets that right? Like… young kids. Pastel colors‚ school back drop. This is perverse‚” another user added while one more wrote‚ “Leave children alone‚ sickos.” Other users used the opportunity to poke fun at the speaker saying‚  “This person even looks like an expert on virginity” and “I don't think you need to worry about losing your virginity.” Likely due to the backlash it received‚ Planned Parenthood now only lets accounts it follows or mentioned reply to the video on X. Like many users pointed out‚ this kind of post isn’t shocking coming from Planned Parenthood. Back in June‚ MRCTV reported on another X post that Planned Parenthood released about virginity. The post essentially insisted that “not being a giant hoe-bag makes you a slave to white men‚” we’d said at the time. The group posted an image of a photoshopped billboard that read‚ “Virginity is a social construct‚” and insisted that being a virgin is based on a patriarchal way of thinking and is “outdated.” All this makes perfect sense for Planned Parenthood. Think about it. Both that billboard and the little infomercial encourage kids to have sex. Planned Parenthood wants kids to sleep around so that they end up with STDs that Planned Parenthood can treat. Planned Parenthood wants kids to end up pregnant so that Planned Parenthood can perform abortions. Planned Parenthood wants kids to devalue their bodies so that they adopt a "hookup culture" attitude which will then lead to such confusion and lack of confidence that it will lead to those kids falling into whatever society tells them is "normal." Nowadays the left wants that "normal" to be something that's part of the LGBTQ mob which of course‚ Planned Parenthood benefits from in more than one way. This isn’t about teaching kids about safe sex or about what sex means. This is about helping Planned Parenthood make money off your kids.  

Climate Depot founder Marc Morano made clear that President Joe Biden’s decision to hamstring a critical American industry had nothing to do with national interest.  Morano shredded Biden’s explanation for a so-called “pause” for liquified natural gas projects during a conversation with Fox News co-host Pete Hegseth on the Jan. 27 edition of Fox &; Friends Saturday. Morano said‚ “This is Joe Biden caving to environmental activists of his base heading into an election year.” Morano went on to rip Biden’s “bonkers” decision‚ arguing that it violated a key promise made to American allies following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.  “The United States is one of the top three exporters of natural gas‚ and all they're doing is now putting it to countries with lower environmental standards‚” Morano said‚ highlighting that the natural gas halt would further hurt U.S. allies in Europe. “One of the things that Joe Biden made a commitment of is‚ after the Ukraine invasion and the Russian sanctions and the cutoff of Russian energy‚ is we were going to fill that void. So‚ now we're hurting our allies by taking away that energy … it's bonkers to do this — more restrictions on our energy‚ on exports‚ more restrictions on our natural domestic production — it makes no sense.” Morano said that this decision suggested that all future energy decisions would have to pass a “climate test‚” before adding: “I don’t think anything can pass even human beings at this point.” When Hegseth said that Americans would lose their jobs while other countries produced “dirtier” energy‚ Morano heartily agreed. “That's the entire green agenda.”  Morano cited a 2013 tweet from former President Donald Trump‚ pointing out the ridiculousness of shutting down our energy production so China can pick up our slack. “All we're doing is shutting down the highest environmental standards‚ the highest human rights standards here in the United States‚” Morano added.  Morano slammed the Biden administration for hamstringing American energy with “carbon-accounting budgets” and “net zero goals‚” so that countries that don’t care about these things can produce energy instead.  “It's utter nonsense from beginning to end‚” Morano said‚ later concluding: “You have these bureaucratic bean counters in the Biden administration now giving a climate test to every aspect of our country and of our economy.” Conservatives are under attack! Contact ABC News at 818-460-7477‚ CBS News at 212-975-3247 and NBC News at 212-664-6192 and demand they hold Biden and his cronies accountable for attempting to restrict fossil fuel production and Americans’ choices.

Snopes‚ a media outfit still regarded by some as an arbiter of truth and a checker of facts‚ has issued a correction after pushing a blatant falsehood that painted President Joe Biden in a positive light. Biden was in Wisconsin last week‚ hyping his administration's pre-election injection of taxpayer funds into infrastructure projects in the swing state. During his promotional tour‚ the 81-year-old Democrat joined Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) in visiting a construction site in Superior. While Biden managed to keep his footing this time around‚ he nevertheless set himself up for ridicule during a photo op by wearing a construction hat backward‚ as indicated by the nape strap planted firmly on his forehead. — (@) Critics on social media quickly descended on the post‚ claiming the geriatric Democrat's inability to properly don a hard hat further exemplified his detachment from working-class Americans along with his decrepitude. Snopes swooped in with a so-called "fact-check" Friday‚ stating the claim‚ "President Joe Biden wore a hard hat backwards during a photo op with union construction workers in Superior‚ Wisconsin‚" was "False." — (@) "Social media users not particularly friendly to the president were quick to identify what they took to be a gaffe on Biden' part: He appeared to be wearing a hard hat backwards‚" wrote Snopes' so-called fact-checker David Emery. While Emery conceded the photo was genuine‚ he claimed that all those with real-world insights into how a hard hat should be worn were still wrong: "The hat on Biden's head was facing forward‚ bill to the front‚ not backward." In his "fact-check‚" Emery included multiple images showing the construction worker whose hat Biden donned wearing the exact same hat the correct way. Those images were not‚ however‚ enough to shake Emery of his "particularly friendly" conviction that Biden was in the right. Snopes' false fact-check sparked significant backlash and mockery‚ even among contributors to news publications with similar credibility problems. David Urban‚ an American lobbyist and CNN commentator‚ wrote‚ "C'mon man!' @snopes you blew this one #BIGLY! As anyone who has ever touched a hard hat can tell you‚ @JoeBiden is wearing it #backward!" Another critic noted that "all Snopes had to do (besides have any experience at all wearing a helmet) is simply open any user manual or instructions. ... He's wearing the nape strap in the front. Nape literally means 'back of the neck'. He's wearing it backward. This isn't rocket science!" Podcaster Tim Pool wrote‚ "The reality is that snopes writers don't know how hard hats work." Emery‚ who days earlier claimed‚ "Social media is making us stupid‚" responded to the backlash‚ tweeting‚ "TIL that literally everyone on X was a construction worker for 40 years." Snopes made a complete about-face on Jan. 27‚ changing its rating of the initial claim from false to true. "We received a ton of comments in a very short time challenging our assumption that wearing a hard hat 'backwards' means wearing it with the brim facing to the rear‚ and 'forwards' means means wearing it brim to the front‚" said an editor's note appended to the revised fact check. "The prevailing counter-argument is that if the suspension of the hat has been purposely configured by its owner such that the bill and tightening knob are worn to the back (as was the case of the hat Biden wore)‚ to wear that hat with the bill facing forward is‚ practically speaking‚ to wear it backwards‚" continued the editor's note. "Therefore‚ it's argued‚ it's actually true that‚ in the photo op discussed below‚ Biden was wearing it backwards. The strap and tightening knob‚ which should have been behind Biden's head‚ were on his forehead. A corollary to that argument is 'Biden looks damn silly in any case.'" "We find these arguments sound. Therefore‚ the claim 'President Joe Biden wore a hard hat backwards during a photo op with union construction workers in Superior‚ Wisconsin' is true‚ and this fact check has been re-rated as such‚" added the note.

A former teacher in New Jersey managed to avoid jail time after she admitted to having a sexual relationship with a then 17-year-old girl for several months in 2017 and 2018. The student was part of the drama club that the teacher oversaw‚ according to the Daily Mail.Christine Knudsen‚ 46‚ was given a three-year suspended sentence for the inappropriate relationship. She was also told by a New Jersey judge that she would be on parole for the remainder of her life.As part of her punishment‚ the former teacher at Fair Lawn High School will also have to register as a sex offender and was told that she is not allowed to have any contact with the victim‚ per the report. The only way she would have to serve time in prison is if she violates the terms set.State Superior Court Judge Nina Remson said: "You are hereby sentenced to three years in New Jersey State Prison to be suspended.""You are also sentenced to comply with registration requirements of Megan's Law and parole supervision for life‚" Remson added."I'm going to give you a document that indicates where you'll be reporting to parole‚" the judge continued. "I'm also going to execute the Nicole's Law restraining order‚ and you'll be given a copy of that in just a moment as well."Knudsen could be seen in the courtroom wearing a face mask‚ sniffling as the judge laid out the terms of her punishment. The New York Post reported that the relationship was technically legal because the student was at the age of consent‚ but the student was considered a child for the sentencing."You are to have no contact with the victim‚ whose initials are NK‚ of course you know who that is‚" the judge continued."You're barred from her residence‚ school‚ place of employment‚ [and] you're prohibited from having any oral‚ written‚ personal‚ telephonic‚ electronic or any other form of contact with her."Knudsen taught for twenty years and generally had a positive influence on her classes‚ according to letters from former students. However‚ Assistant Prosecutor Stephen Bollenbach said that the relationship she had with the student was still a violation.“So while this is certainly not a victimless crime — it’s far from it — I hope that Ms. Knudsen is forever deterred‚” Bollenbach said. “I think that is in the best interest of the community as a whole and certainly to the students.”Like Blaze News?

Comedian and talk show host Bill Maher went back and forth with comedy writer Seth MacFarlane over leftist-held viewpoints that Maher argued were "kookier" than views espoused by Donald Trump.On Maher's "Real Time with Bill Maher‚" the creator of "Family Guy" predominantly argued against Trump and in favor of President Biden‚ siding with fellow guest Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif).It was Maher's comments on why voters choose Trump that particularly confused MacFarlane. Maher turned to sports commentator and panel member Stephen A. Smith to ask him a question about men playing in women's' sports."The Atlantic put out an article last year and it was called 'Separating Sports by Sex Doesn't Make Sense‚' right‚ and talked about how we separate sports like the WNBA [and the NBA]‚" Maher remarked. He then cited the article saying the separation of genders was "just socialization." "This is insane‚" Maher added."I agree‚" Smith replied."Okay‚ that's why people vote for Trump; because there's stuff like that on the left that people just go 'I know Trump's horrible but separating sports by sex makes perfect sense and if you think it doesn't‚ you can't lead the country‚'" Maher added.MacFarlane replied that the logic was akin to "cutting off your nose to spite your face.""I'm just‚ I'm just giving you the answer to the question you're asking all night long‚" Maher chimed back. "Why do they vote for Donald Trump? It's not always because they like him. It's because stuff like that is kookier to people.""It's kookier than trashing the Capitol?! What the f**k?!" a baffled MacFarlane replied."In a way it is‚" Maher stated‚ before asking Smith what would happen if we combined the NBA and the WNBA.Smith declared that LeBron James would go from 25 points per game to 70.MacFarlane then noted that he had a Zoom video call with President Biden after donating to the Democratic Party and noted that Biden was "not the world's greatest public speaker" but was certainly likable."I'm now getting why people like Lindsey Graham are defending him and saying like if you don't like Joe Biden‚ there's something wrong with you‚" he added.MacFarlane also praised Biden for having altruistic traits and claimed the Inflation Reduction Act contained "climate provisions that are going to probably bear fruit long after [Biden is] gone." Smith remarked that it's not "offensive" to point out Biden's age and that he is "no longer a spring chicken."The cartoonist was frequently unable to contain his disdain for Trump and at one point ranted that Trump disseminates too much "bulls**t.""You disseminate so much bulls**t you're like Biff in 'Back to the Future' getting dumped on by the manure truck‚" he said. Seth McFarlane on Bill Maher:\n"When you donate to the Democrat party which I have‚ you get to do certain things"\n"I got on a zoom with Biden for like 10 minutes. What I took away from that was 'This guy is not the greatest public speaker'" — (@) Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

Elon Musk's social media platform‚ X‚ formerly Twitter‚ plans to hire 100 content moderators to further its goal to crack down on online child sexual abuse material‚ an X executive stated Saturday‚ the New York Post reported.A Friday blog post from X provided an update on the company's efforts to eradicate CSAM from its platform. "At X‚ we have zero tolerance for Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE)‚ and we are determined to make X inhospitable for actors who seek to exploit minors. In 2023‚ we made clear that our top priority was tackling CSE online‚" the blog post read.X announced plans to build a "Trust and Safety center of excellence" in Austin‚ Texas‚ where it will hire more "in-house" content moderators to ensure CSAM is removed from the platform. Joe Benarroch‚ X's head of business operations‚ stated that the center's "team is currently being built‚" the Post reported.CEO Linda Yaccarino wrote in a recent post on X‚ "We will always do everything we can to keep children and minors safe. @X is an entirely new company‚ and over the past 14 months we've strengthened all our policies and enforcement to prevent bad actors from distributing or engaging with child sexual exploitation content."The company aims to complete the center and recruiting by the end of the year.According to X's latest reporting‚ the platform suspended 12.4 million accounts last year "for violating our CSE policies." "This is up from 2.3 million accounts in 2022‚" the company noted. "Along with taking action under our rules‚ we also work closely with [National Center for Missing &; Exploited Children]. In 2023‚ X sent 850‚000 reports to NCMEC‚ including our first ever fully-automated report‚ over eight times more than Twitter sent in 2022."Before the "fully-automated NCMEC CyberTipline report‚" employees had to manually create and review reports.In December‚ X ramped up its effort to combat CSAM by scanning all uploaded videos and GIFs‚ Blaze News previously reported. "Not only are we detecting more bad actors faster‚ we're also building new defenses that proactively reduce the discoverability of posts that contain this type of content‚" a press release from the company read. "One such measure that we have recently implemented has reduced the number of successful searches for known Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) patterns by over 99% since December 2022."The United States Senate Judiciary Committee is slated to hold a hearing on January 31‚ where lawmakers will discuss social media companies' failure to combat online child sexual exploitation material. Senators will hear from Yaccarino‚ Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg‚ TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew‚ Snap CEO Evan Spiegel‚ and Discord CEO Jason Citron.Like Blaze News?
